Projects: Laurel School

van Dijk Pace Westlake Architects was selected by the school, a K-12 girls day school, to implement the first phase of development of a 139 acre wooded site. The initial project scope consists of athletic fields, access road and bridge, parking and a building that houses locker rooms and other athletic support spaces. In addition, several field stations for on-site academic study are located throughout the forest.

The school is committed to preserving the natural ecosystems of the site and by doing so, instilling a sense of land stewardship within the student body. The site plan preserves the mature forest growth and minimizes the clearing of trees.

The wastewater treatment includes using natural methods of purification, including using a Living Machine and retention ponds filled with water reclaimed from the site, specifically for field irrigation. Natural materials will be used for the building.
